Netball South West Performance Pathway - Coaching Opportunities

Introduction to the Revised Performance Pathway It is England Netball’s vision to become World Champions by 2019, and to go on to experience consistent success and World and Commonwealth level for years to come. In order to achieve this we must generate a new Performance Pathway that will produce and deliver athletes into the England programme. Fundamental to the new Performance Pathway is the recent announcement that Netball South West have been successful in gaining support from England Netball to run 3 Regional Academies and 1 Regional Performance Academy. The Academies are geographically spread across our Region (Cornwall, Bath and Gloucester), enabling players to train year round in a high quality training environment, creating a magnet for identified players who wish to pursue their ambition to represent England. This new structure replaces the South West’s Talent & Performance Centres and England Excel Programme. The emphasis will be to increase coach athlete contact time and for us as a region to embrace the changes required at the new Regional Academy level and higher.
